Welcome to the
latest World of Warcraft newsletter from Ten Ton Hammer.
The Overpull, where we gather most of the things we should and
a
few we probably shouldn't.

In this section we'll look at the hits and misses taking place in the
game. 

Ammo bags are soon to be a thing of the past, amen. Now about Soul Bags
and Shards?



Ulduar difficulty, full of Farm and Wipes all at the same time. The dev
team seems to understand how to allow us all to see the content, but
give the hard cores a way to win. It's like letting us ride in a pace
car to see a race track and then letting the big dogs roll.



BGs are no longer on Farm status, heck I can't remember doing one since
I tried Strand of Ancients just to see it. Do people still go to WSG?



Shattering Throw pops my Pally bubble, really? Bubblehearth goes out
with Druid tanks...zing!

Ah the good old
days. Some we miss, but most we just
appreciate (for the fact that they're gone!).

Does anyone remember getting the key to Searing Gorge?



Or how about the Priest and Hunter epic quest drops off of Ragnaros?
There was a percentage one would drop and that was the easy part.



Do you remember the first time you clicked on a puddle in the
Plaguelands named "Blood of Heroes" and how did that turn out for you?



There used to be full raids on Nathanos Blightcaller and people
actually finished the Heroes of Darrowshire quest lines.

This week we get another extended maintenance that most likely won't
deliver the big patch that we're all waiting for. That reminds me, does
it seem like Wrath has been a work in progress since it launched lo
those four months ago? It feels like a huge axe of change is always
hanging over my character's head. Not that the game is broken, far from
it (I'm having a blast!) but I feel like everything is temporary. I'm
not getting too invested in my new found fun because it is all going to
change or it may change, or it may stay the same. Yes, I understand
that game developers should always be inovating and adding to their
games, but it just seems like there is a daily watch on nerfs and
buffs. I feel like I should be watching a Dow Jones ticker on the
progress of the latest changes. If nothing else, all of my mods will
break, I
just know it!



Can your write the right way? href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/65442">Blizzard
wants you.
My writing is better for inserting fiction into fact and then making
readers figure out which is which. But if you have have a creative gene
then you may win a trip to Blizzard Entertainment in the OC. Even
though I know nothing of writing fiction, I feel that I must forward
some tips:



If your story starts with a creepy old guy that shows up to tell a boy
he is powerful, then hit the delete key and start over.



One caveat: If the creepy old guy is James Earl Jones, then it's ok.



If you use Zerg as a verb, delete it and use "bum rush" instead.



Feel free to insert the current crop of Blizzard names; for example.
"The vapor-laden crab took on a shimmering quality. Yes the ghost
crawler was truly frightening in the way it switched and swayed, never
making committments to any specific direction."


The life in WoW right now is pretty good, but I have pretty high
expectations for patch 3.1 starting with the name. It needs a name, so
what's it going to be? They tend toward book titles like
"Echos of
Doom" but maybe they'll switch it up on us this time. I'd love to see a
patch name that really shows truth in advertsing for patch 3.1 such as:

  • "Druid Tanks
    Declawed"
  • "Making the game
    even easier so start bitching about
    how hard it used to be"
  • "Like that last
    party in Stratholme, Arthas is
    showing up late to make an entrance."
  • "We're giving
    you Dual spec, now leave us alone so we
    can get some sleep"
  • "Yes, we like
    the Horde better, and we only play
    Paladins."

I'm sure you can beat those, what would you name Patch 3.1?
